What Are The Abusive Relationships In Macbeth
Shakespeare's Macbeth and Abusive Relationships Abuse, an adjective, to treat (a person or an animal) with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly. Shakespeare's Macbeth asserts the daily moral and emotional struggles that husband and wife face in Elizabethan time, as well as modern day.

Isn't staying with someone you don't love abuse? Well, yes and no. Yes because you're lying to that person and staying with them for either your own personal benefits and not supporting them. An example of someone supporting their significant other no matter what is the Clinton’s.
